Abstract

la présente invention concerne un système de pari en ligne interactif qui permet à au moins un participant distant d'obtenir des données de pari en temps réel à partir d'un groupe virtuel afin de permettre au participant d'effectuer un choix de pari à partir de données collectives et comparatives qu'il est possible d'obtenir à partir du groupe de parieurs virtuels. Le système comprend au moins une station distante permettant à un participant distant de se connecter, via un dispositif de communication, à un site web de fournisseur de service Internet, un premier serveur en communication avec le site web du fournisseur, un ordinateur en communication avec le premier serveur et avec une première base de données d'information de paris. Le système comprend, en outre, un second serveur en communication avec le premier ordinateur et en communication avec une deuxième base de données contenant des matériaux et des données incluant des cotes de bookmaker et/ou des prix d'un premier bookmaker relié au second serveur, et au moins un autre serveur relié à une troisième base de données contenant une information de pari concernant un second bookmaker en communication avec ce dernier serveur. Lorsque le participant distant se connecte à l'Internet via la station distante, ce participant accède aux deuxième et troisième bases de données via la première base de données. Dans ce système, le joueur interagit avec les bookmakers afin d'obtenir une information de pari comme s'il était dans un groupe de parieurs réels entrain de parier.
